With an estimated 7 billion people inhabiting the Earth, it's impossible to know how many people shop online. According to numerous research studies, the best guess is tha 33% of the world’s consumers shop via the Internet on a somewhat regular basis. That's a potential 2.3 billion shoppers!
With such a huge market there's naturally a great deal of competition. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands, likely millions of merchants trying to sell online shoppers every product imaginable. So how do you decide where to make your purchases online?
Personally, I choose an eStore that carries a wide variety of products offered at affordable prices. Naturally, I also look for an uncomplicated return policy, and the online store's website has to be easy to navigate. http://www.scottydirect.com is just such an online store.
ScottyDirect had its beginnings selling affordable fashion and homeware products on eBay, targeting the Australian market. Now ScottyDirect.com is a full blown, successful online store with a far greater selection of goods than what was available on eBay. But the products the company sells are still individually selected, and offered at affordable prices. ScottyDirect has maintained it's focus on the Australian market, but that's due to change.
With the launch of the World Wide Web in 1993 the planet shrank to a single, giant shopping mall that can be traversed in minutes. Wines from an Italian or French vineyard can be ordered by a customer in Iceland or Chile with the click of a button, and be delivered in as little as 48 hours. No matter what the product, there are no more borders when consumers shop online. So why would an online merchant only look locally when the world is actually his or her market place.
With a solid foundation in the Australian market, Queensland based eCommerce business ScottyDirect.com is looking globally. ScottyDirect will springboard from it's position as one of Australia's top online shopping websites, to a contender on the world stage. The company plans to focus on providing consumers with an ever increasing range of quality, affordable products,while still maintaining it's renowned dependability, and stellar customer service that hitherto was only able to be enjoyed by Australian consumers.
